Through hardware processing, the AJA KONA 4 PCI-e video I/O card can ingest and transmit 4K video. In addition, it supports uncompressed 1080p 4:4:4:or 4:2:2 I/O. The KONA 4 can simultaneously capture and playback uncompressed 3G-SDI video. Two ports accept video input, while the other two can feed a professional display or recorder.
Hardware Up/Down/Cross conversion. To unify the resolution of a project, the footage must be converted by software, to adapt it to the project. Thanks to the internal scaler, the KONA 4 can unify video clip resolutions without prior rendering. The KONA can overlay graphics.
Includes 60-pin cable for additional inputs and outputs, including AES/EBU audio, LTC and reference BNC connections, analog component video and RS-422 control. Includes 4-BNC to mini-BNC cable and an HDMI to mini-HDMI cable.

8-lane PCIe 2.0 video and audio desktop I/O card with features for handling everything from SD to HD, 2K and 4K with full 10-bit 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 sampling and 12-bit support. For HDR workflows, KONA 4 supports HDR 10 and HLG over HDMI. KONA 4 features bi-directional 3G-SDI connections that can be used for input and output. 16-Channels of embedded audio over SDI for multi-channel audio work and HDMI 2.0b monitoring output. LTC I/O, Genlock input, RS-422 control, configurable 3x BNC SD/HD analog video output and 8-channel AES audio I/O with the K3G-Box all allow KONA 4 to integrate into a variety of workflows from HDR to HFR, 4K to Multi-Channel HD for streaming and more.
KONA 4 provides this support for your 4K/UltraHD/2K and HD HDR pipelines to HDMI compatible displays in software v13 by offering HDR10 support with HDR10 Infoframe metadata, in accordance with HDMI 2.0a/CTA-861.3 and HLG support on applicable HDMI displays. Desktop Software v13 introduces HLG support over HDMI for the latest versions of Adobe Premiere CC.
Supports macOS, Windows and Linux.
KONA 4’s extensive 4K support allows output directly from editing systems to 4K projectors or monitors, including HFR support at 50/60fps and 4K HDMI output to support the latest UltraHD monitors, allowing editors and clients to view full resolution 4K images as they work.
KONA 4 also supports AJA Raw capture at up to 120fps via 4x 3G-SDI connections to create beautiful and detailed slow motion. KONA 4 has the power to support 4K High Frame Rate (HFR) at 50p and 60p for the most demanding 4K and UltraHD workflows. The HDMI output is capable of displaying 4K/UltraHD via HDMI to many of the latest UltraHD monitors, making full-resolution monitoring affordable while stil maintaining pristine image quality.
The built-in hardware downstream keyer allows graphics and images to be overlaid on the input video to the card for easy overlays.
The optional K3G-Box breakout box and cables allow KONA 4 to integrate easily into rack environments, enabling quick access to all video and audio connections without having to get at the back of the tower computer.
Additional K3G-Box functionality over the standard breakout cable comes in the form of eight additional AES audio channels, 2-channel RCA analog audio monitoring jacks, and looping BNC Genlock reference connectors.
